Gleland is a stonemason who

grave will be finished next spring.
He said he and his workers

Red China Denounces U.N. Study Proposal

(c) New York Times News Service

HONG

KONC-Commu- nist

China today denounced the Italian proposal for the establishment of a United Nations committee that would try to find a
solution to the question of Peking's representation in the world
body.

Declaring that the move was
instigated by the United States,
Hsinhua, the Chinese Communist Press Agency, described it
as "a serious step taken by U.S.
imperialism to create 'two
Chinas' in the United Nations."
Hsinhua' s comment was the
first Chinese reaction to the Italian proposal and to the debate
on the question of Peking's representation which began on Nov.
18. In the past, the Chinese Com

-

munists have rejected all proposals for the admission of a
Peking representative to the U.N.
that excluded provision for the
expulsion of Nationalist China.
Peking has also called for
the complete reorganization of
the U.N. which it alleges is
manipulated and controlled by
the U.S. and the Soviet Union.
Today's Hsinhua comment
also condemned the U.S. for
attempting to shift responsibility to Peking for the exclusion
of the Chinese Communist delegation. It reiterated China's objections to the U.N. in its present
form but rejected arguments that
it was isolating itself from the
U.N.

Hsinhua said everybody knew

MANTOVANI IN CONCERT

Special To The Kernel"
-G-

Dr. Robert

L. Mills, presi-

dent of the college, told the Kernel Tuesday, "If the terms and
conditions of the loans are satisfactory, we will proceed with the
formal
applications for the
loans." He estimated the loans
at $1.5 million for the four dormitories, which will house 86 students apiece, and $1 million for
the science building.
The Kentucky Baptist Con

vention paved the way for the
loans last week by dropping a
brief ban on federal construction loans and grants. The policy was adopted only five months
ago at a special meeting in Louisville.
At the same time, the Convention allotted an extra $300,000
a year to finance more expensive private loans for school construction. Basis for the action
was that money for Kentucky's
four Baptist colleges should come

through traditional methods of
tithes and offerings.

a motion to reaffirm a
policy giving responsibility

Although the proposal was expected to be controversial, it passed by a large majority on a standing vote.
The motion called for a "reaffirmation of faith and confidence" in the college trustees
and administrators w ho can make
decisions based on "detailed information." Mills said the colleges should not be run from "the
convention floor."
He warned that thecolleges
including Georgetown,
Cumberland and Kentucky Southern were in danger
of losing accreditation because
the trustees did not have "freedom to use their best judgment."
Dr. Mills and Georgetown had
submitted preliminary information on the science building to
federal agencies before the conference reversed its stand. However, he said the college had also

He guessed that a decision on

"M" IS FOR THE

MANY THINGS

YOU'LL TEACH HER
Nobody will dispute surely not I that raising children
is a task which requires full time and awesome skills.
Nonetheless, a recent nationwide survey has revealed a
startling fact: mothers who go back to work after their
children are safely through the early years are notably
happier, better adjusted, and more fulfilled than mothers
who simply remain housewives. Moreover and mark this
well the children of such working mothers are themselves
happier, better adjusted, and more fulfilled!
All very well, you say, but what's it got to do with you ?
Isn't it obvious? If you are underachieving at college, get
your mother a job.
What kind of job? Well sir, your mother is probably
between 35 and 50 years of age, so certain occupations
must immediately be ruled out. Logging, for example. Or
whaling. Or carhopping.
But don't despair. There are other kinds of jobs-n- ot
many, to be sure, but some. However, you must not stick
Mom in just any old job. You must remember that after
the excitement of raising you, she would be bored to tears
as a file clerk, for instance, or as a dolman. (A dolman, as
we all know, is someone who brings handfuls of water to
track layers. With the recent invention of the pail, dolmen
are gradually falling into technological unemployment.)
But I digress. I was saying, find Mom a job worthy of
her talents, something challenging that uses her vast wisdom and experience but, at the same time, is not too hard
on her obsolescing tissues. That's what Walter Sigafoos
did, and the results were brilliantly successful.
Walter, a sophomore at the Upper Maryland College of
Wickerwork and Belles Lettres, majoring in raffia, approached the problem scientifically. First he asked himself
what his mother did best. Well sir. what she did best was
to keep hollering, "Dress warm, Walter!"
At first glance this seemed a skill not widely in demand,
but Walter was not discouraged. He sent out hundreds of
inquiries and today, I am pleased to report, his mother is
happily employed as wardrobe mistress for the Montreal
Canadiens.
Another fortunate venture was that of Frank C. Grans-mira junior at the Oregon State Conservatory of Music
and Optometry, majoring in sties. Frank, like Walter, did
a survey in depth of his mother's talents. Chief among
them, he found, was her ability to make a roast of beef
feed the whole family for three days. So, naturally, Frank
got her a job at the Museum of Natural History.
What has one to do with the other, you ask? Isn't it
obvious? Anyone who can stretch ribs like that belongs in
paleontology.

reason I cannot is that this column is sponsored by the

they are inclined to get peckish if I omit to mention their

Not, mind you, that it is a chore for me to plug

Personna. No sir: no chore. Personna takes the pain out
of shaving, scraps the scrape, negates the nick, repudiates
the rasp, peels the pull, boycotts the burn, blackballs the
bite, ousts the ouch. Furthermore, Personna endures and
abides, gives you luxury shave after luxury shave, day
after clay after day. And further furthermore, Personna

Decision For Progress
Minnesota's

The University of
Council of Presidents, an informal
organization of major campus student organizations, last week unanimously agreed to endorse the College of Liberal Arts Board's efforts
to get a pass-fagrading system
at their university.
A grading system of "P" (passing) or "N" (no grade) would be
followed if Minnesota were to inaugurate the proposal. Currently,
neither grade is used by the university.
The president of the Liberal Arts
Board explained his proposal this
way: "We are assuming that you
learn different things when you
don't worry about grades. You concentrate less on memorizing specific facts and start thinking about
the concepts behind them."
Such a notion has been endorsed by the Kernel and is being
considered more and more by universities throughout the nation. Administrators are realizing that the
present grading system, the grade-poiratio, in many instances often
deters the fulfillment of the education process.
In short, students are far more
interested in passing than in learning. We submit the two are not
synonymous.
The College of Medicine at the
University has announced plans to
grades, at
begin issuing pass-faleast on a trial basis. We would
like to see other UK colleges follow.
It must be admitted that there

are still many difficulties to be
overcome before pass-fa- il
grading
could be fully accepted in the College of Arts and Sciences and other
larger colleges. For one thing, students leaving UK and going to
other colleges might have difficulty
gaining acceptance if their transcript contained no grade point
average. Graduate schools may feel
hesitant to accept students with
grades, as they would
only pass-fanot immediately distinguish between the average and superior
--

il

student.
We suggest, however, that if a
university has superior admission
standards and a thorough academic
policy, it could soon educate students that would be outstanding
enough to convince other institutions of higher learning of their
superiority, regardless of the grading system.
As for now, we encourage UK's
student organizations to provide
a forum and discuss the merits of
a pass-fa- il
system. If these groups,
speaking in one voice, endorsed
such a system, we believe the Administration would take note. The
UK Administration has seriously
considered and often endorsed student suggestions before.
We also suggest that university and college administrators provide for themselves a similar forum
to discuss the possibility of a pass-fa- il
grading system on a national
basis. This would be a significant
step toward true higher education
in America.
